The Devils Rejects

Nothing could prepare me for The Devils Rejects. If you think you have seen everything then think again! Personally I thought that it was truly repulsive and vile, but if sex, murder and torture to the extreme is your thing then you may like it...who knows. It's shocking to think how you would come up with a film like this....it's true to say this film still haunts me a little!

Let me start off by saying I love sick movies. The Devils Rejects takes the cake when you talk about sick movies. I could definitely see how some people could be offended by watching this, BUT THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT WHEN YOU CREATE A SLASHER FILM!!! You want to gross people out to the point where they want to leave, but can't because they want to see how it ends. Rob Zombie is a genius, and I hope he keeps making these flicks. The sicker the better!!

The Devils Rejects made me feel uncomfortable to the point that I considered walking out. The only thing that kept me there was the chance that Sheriff John Wydell would finally get his revenge. Unfortunately without giving too much away I was disapointed to find that Zombie prefers to glorify violence. In a recent quote Rob Zombie states that he didn't want to 'cheer the bad guys' and he wanted to show how 'ugly and nasty violence can be'. I however did not see this side to Rob Zombie when watching the film, all I saw was depravity for the sake of it- prostitution, violence, drug-taking, you name it he has included it just for the hell of it so it seems (or maybe to make sure it gets an 18 rating and upholds the Rob Zombie reputation! Even the so called comic moments are just vulgar and offensive. Definately a film to avoid unless you can stomach Zombie's bizarre and twisted idea of entertainmt.

As a fan of Rob Zombie's virgin picture, House of 1000 Corpses, I was really looking forward to The Devils Rejects. However, I was let down on so many levels. Firstly, there is no rock music AT ALL in this movie, as I had come to enjoy during the first one. There is an overuse of filthy language, and there are more breasts than I've ever seen in a non X-rated movie. The overall storyline is lacking in details, leaving many people who have not read the Devil's Rejects website, and who haven't thoroughly studied House of 1000 Corpses, feeling confused and irritated. Karen Black does not reprise her role as Mama Firefly, and the new actress is just not as good. Overall, this movie was a huge disappointment.
